This archive contains the binary distribution kit for version 3.0 of
uupc for the Macintosh.
uupc is a program which allows your Macintosh to communicate using the
"uucp" (Unix-to-Unix Copy Program) protocols, and to exchange files
and electronic mail with other uucp sites. It is a major upgrade of
uupc 2.0 and 2.1, which were released to the Macintosh user community
several years ago. uupc 3.0 is MultiFinder-friendly, runs under System
6.0.x and under System 7, supports fast modems, is domain-aware, allows
for both outbound calls and for inbound (slave-mode) calls, has an
automatic call-scheduler, supports both the 'g' protocol (7-packet
window, packets up to 256 bytes) and the 'f' protocol (for use with
error-correcting modems or with X.25 links).
The Macintosh uupc 3.0 software release was coordinated by Dave Platt.
Code added in this release was written by a large number of
individuals, including Dave Platt, Gary Morris, Drew Derbyshire,
Sak Wathanasin, and probably others I've forgotten to mention
(apologies!). The list of beta-testers is as long as my arm...
thank you, one and all, for pounding the tar out of this software
over the last few months.
uupc 3.0 is "freeware"... use it, give it away, pass it around, upload
it to your friendly neighborhood BBS. Don't use it as the basis for a
commercial product... portions of it are copyright by their respective
authors.
uupc 3.0 is provided without any warranty whatsoever. If you feed it
after midnight, and it gets nasty and shreds your living room furniture,
that's your problem, not mine ;-). I'd like to hear about any problems
you may have with uupc 3.0, but I do not promise to fix them, or support
uupc 3.0 in any way.
Full source code to uupc 3.0 is being posted in a second archive... if
you don't like the way some aspect of uupc 3.0 works, you can customize
it to suit your own preferences!
